MIDNIGHT ARSE MASS ANYONE?
The United Reform Church says it's investigating claims a couple who, while staying in Langport over the festive season, mistakenly visited one of its former chapels on Christmas Eve.
Audrey and Rupert Rimburn from Grimsby have accused the URC of not updating its website after they went to Bow Street expecting to attend midnight mass.
Unbeknown to the Rimburns, Langport's United Reform Church closed 2 years ago and has since been turned into a massive air B&B style 'party house' attracting groups of over 20 people from all over the country.
"Walking towards the gates and expecting a good service" said Mrs Rimburn, "we were disgusted to hear people inside singing Give Me Oil Up My Ramp, Keep Me Gurning"
"Furthermore, 3 middle-aged women then fell out of the chapel's main door laughing and mooned at traffic outside a local takeaway called Ichi Tong" she added, "which we found doubly disgusting"
Hula Hoop Properties, which runs the Bow Street venue plus others in High Ham and Westport, declined to comment saying it preferred not to get involved in 'church business'
The company also refused to confirm or deny rumours it's currently got its eyes on Portcullis House and Ashley House.
There are no further details.

In other news
NOT FOR HIRE
An independent taxi service around Langport and
the surrounding towns and villages is no longer operating after its
founder and driver finally retired.
Joy of Joy's Taxis, or 'Taxidermus Joyeaux' as the Romans called her, has decided to call it a day and have a much deserved break.
We wish her well!
Our area has long been under-served by local taxi companies and now with Joy quitting, that gap in the market has widened further.
Any takers?

And finally
It's Wassail Season!
Or as us locals look at it, just another excuse to go out and get pissed up in winter....
Two listed for you so far, the first one is this Saturday down past Aller:
The carpark at Bere is known for filling up very quickly. That, combined with narrow country lanes, it may be a good idea to sort out some sort of car share or even a lift there folks. You have been warned!
The second Wassail we have for you isn't until next month and is in Low Ham.
Some of you may well have tried a pint or five of Tricky's cider at the steam fair last summer:
[and then woken up at 4am in the main arena 😂]
Worth a look!
That's all we have for the moment and that's your Wednesday bulletin folks.
Thanks for the contributions
[the mooning thing actually happened down outside the party house apparently 😂 if only somebody had taken a few pictures!]
